REAPPOINT to a tenant over age 62 seat on the Advisory Housing Commission for a two-year term ending March 31, 1998: Edith Voorhies 2100 Buchanan Road, C-506 Antioch, CA 94509 5. DIRECT the County Administrator's Office to acknowledge the application of JoAnn Brooks-Washington for the Advisory Housing Commission and urge her to apply for this or other advisory boards, committees and commissions again in the future when terms of office again expire or vacancies otherwise occur. 6. DETERMINE whether to approve the following recommendation: Supervisor Bishop recommends that the Board of Supervisors EXPRESS its intent to seriously consider the geographic diversity of the Advisory Housing Commission when the terms of at-large members of the Advisory Housing Commission next expire to insure that the residents of West County are adequately represented on the Commission. Supervisor Rogers does not join in this recommendation to the extent that it involves refusing to reappoint members who have conscientiously and adequately performed their duties. Supervisor Rogers strongly supports the Board considering geographic diversity when it can do so without dropping a commissioner who is doing a good job. BACKGROUND: The Advisory Housing Commission is a seven member body appointed by the Board of Supervisors. Two members of the Commission must be tenants of the Authority, and one of those tenants must be over the age of 62. The other five seats are at- large members. The terms of office of both of the tenant Commissioners and two of the four at-large Commissioners expired March 31, 1996. These four are George Brown (at-large), Richard Lujan (at-large), Julie Medina (tenant), and Edith Voorhies (tenant over age 62). The at-large Commissioners serve four year terms. The tenant Commissioners serve two-year terms. On May 14, 1996, our Committee reported to the Board recommending reappointment of the four incumbents. Because one individual protested that there was no member of the Advisory Housing Commission from West County, our Committee agreed to take back the recommendations and reconsider the geographical representation on the Commission. Our Committee met on June 3, 1996 with all four of the current members of the Advisory Housing Commission whose terms have expired. Concern has been expressed that we do not have a representative from West County on the Commission. However, we also note that having a resident from West County has not previously been identified as a criterion which would receive significant weight in determining whom to appoint to the Commission. Richard Martinez, Executive Director of the Housing Authority, also reminded our Committee that the City of Richmond has its own Housing Authority which handles both public housing and Section 8 programs. The City of San Pablo has its own -2- IOC-04 Housing Authority which operates its own public housing program. The County Housing Authority operates the Section 8 Program for the City of San Pablo. Therefore, a significant portion of the population in West County has other housing authorities to serve its needs. In addition, it was noted that the individual from West County who had addressed the Board of Supervisors on this issue is apparently already a member of the Housing Commission in the City of Richmond. Supervisor Rogers expressed his commitment to reappointing incumbent members of advisory boards in the absence of serious concerns about the competence of the incumbent, his or her attendance at meetings or behavior. Disagreement with policy positions should not be a basis for replacing an advisory board member. Supervisor Rogers agreed that if the Board of Supervisors wants to fix term limits on advisory board members or impose other criteria which will be used in considering the reappointment of advisory board members the Board ought to have the right to impose those.requirements but that they should be imposed in advance so an individual knows when taking a seat on an advisory board what the rules will be when the individual is considered for reappointment. In the absence of such criteria, Supervisor Rogers supports the reappointment of the incumbents. Supervisor Bishop expressed the feeling that all areas of the County should be adequately represented on the Advisory Housing Commission and that the Board of Supervisors should have the discretion to take those factors into account in deciding whether to reappoint an individual. However, in view of the comments made by Mr. Martinez, Supervisor Bishop agrees that the four incumbents should be reappointed. As a result of our discussion, we reaffirm our recommendation that the four incumbent members of the Advisory Housing Commission be reappointed to the Commission. Supervisor Bishop is, however, adding a recommendation noting that the Board should express its intent to seriously consider the geographic diversity of the Advisory Housing Commission when the terms of at-large members next expire. -3- s CONTRA COSTA COUNTY o�+<<�,�,��}.
